A Georgian at Princeton

MYERS, Robert Manson

Harcourt, Brace. Jovanovich

<p>The remarkable Civil War letters of a Georgia plantation family, now available in a compact, illustrated volume for new readers and for all those who so greatly admired the original monumental edition. The letters vividly recreate a period of American history unparalleled for its drama and poignancy. From reviews of the first edition: "No story in America's history has been so often told, or has so well stood the retelling, as that of the Old South and its destruction. But Robert Manson Myers's splendid [book] tells it as it has not been told before, in the fullness of its poignancy and tragedy." -Madison Jones, New York Times Book Review "A great and indispensable book." -Jonathan Yardley, New Republic "A Gone with the Wind saga.... This book is superb." -Clarence E. Olson, St. Louis Post Dispatch "The Children of Pride is family reconstruction on a grand scale. It demonstrates how the editing of sources can become, in the hands of an imaginative scholar, the work of creative history." -Citation for the 1973 National Book Award in History. The original version of The Children of Pride was the winner of the 1973 National Book Award in History. It was also named among the best books of 1972 by the American Library Association and by the New York Times Book Review, Saturday Review, Time, Washington Post, and Newsweek.</p>

From The Spoils of Poynton, Henry James's riveting novel of courtship and marriage in Edwardian England, award-winning playwright Robert Manson Myers has fashioned a taut drama unfolding sharp tensions between a domineering mother and a vacillating son as inheritance of a magnificent country house thwarts a delicate courtship, precipitates a disastrous marriage, and propels events to a denouement at once devastating and bitterly ironic.The action takes place in the drawing room of Ricks, a country house in Poynton Park, Essex, England, toward the end of the nineteenth century.
